- Once developed further and subjected to the necessary safety testing, the suit could emerge as a useful winter accessory for motorcyclists travelling in some of the country’s coldest regions.
- The system is designed to capture and channel heat from the motorcycle’s exhaust into the suit, providing warmth to the rider without requiring a separate conventional heating device.
- Designed by Prabhgun Singh Middha under the guidance of his teacher, Sukhdev Banjara, the suit uses heat produced by a motorcycle’s exhaust silencer to keep the rider warm.
A Class XII student from MGN School, Adarsh Nagar, has developed an innovative heating suit aimed at protecting motorcyclists from extreme cold while travelling through mountainous and high-altitude regions.
Designed by Prabhgun Singh Middha under the guidance of his teacher, Sukhdev Banjara, the suit uses heat produced by a motorcycle’s exhaust silencer to keep the rider warm. The invention seeks to offer a practical and affordable solution for people who regularly travel on two-wheelers during severe winter conditions.
Prabhgun said motorcyclists often face considerable difficulty in regions such as Ladakh, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and the North-Eastern states, where temperatures can fall sharply during winter.
The system is designed to capture and channel heat from the motorcycle’s exhaust into the suit, providing warmth to the rider without requiring a separate conventional heating device. The student believes the innovation could be especially useful in remote and cold areas where riders sometimes carry traditional heating equipment while travelling.
A major feature of the suit is its relatively low production cost. According to Prabhgun, it can be manufactured for approximately Rs 4,000, which could make it accessible to a wide section of motorcyclists if produced commercially.
The project has also received financial support under the government’s INSPIRE MANAK Award Scheme. Prabhgun was awarded a grant of Rs 10,000 to improve and further develop the prototype.
He recently showcased the project at Jugaad Mela 2026, organised at Lovely Professional University. The innovation reportedly attracted interest from several investors, some of whom expressed a willingness to support its large-scale production.
Prabhgun now hopes to refine the design and explore opportunities for commercial manufacturing. Once developed further and subjected to the necessary safety testing, the suit could emerge as a useful winter accessory for motorcyclists travelling in some of the country’s coldest regions.
